Must use import to load ES Module

[reactmore]

I found this error when I was looking for a solution I had to add a type module in the json package but I see it already exists

Node js Version : 14.18.1

Log From hosting :

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:948
    throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename);
    ^

Is this a cPanel hosting? I suppose this is a problem related with how it works as previosly my clients had the same issue.

Transpiling the code to CommonJS would solve the issue.

Yes cpanel hosting, i try change to commonJs but stuck in whatsapp.js

Line const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))

do you have any suggestions?

You can just remove it since __dirname should be available by default when using CommonJS.

Hi, sorry I opened it again, the MD version is quite stable but I was confused when I changed it to common js
